Effect of different tillage practices and nutrient sources on qualitative performance of pearl millet under dry land
Author(s): Dr. BL Sinha
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the two consecutive rainy season (kharif) to study the effect of tillage and nutrient sources (supply of nitrogen through different sources) on the performance of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) at Raja Balwant Singh College, Bichpuri, Agra (U.P.). The experiment was laid out in split plot design replicated four times. The main plot treatments were consisted of four tillage practices viz., (i) deep tillage + two interculture - T1, (ii) minimum tillage + one interculture - T2, (iii) minimum tillage + two interculture - T3 and (iv) minimum tillage + one interculture + weedicide application- T4. Sub-plot treatments were comprised of three sources of nitrogen supply viz., (i) application of 100% nitrogen through organic source - N1 (ii) application of 50% nitrogen through organic source + 50% nitrogen through inorganic source - N2 and (iii) application of 100% nitrogen through inorganic source - N3. The maximum protein production was obtained under conventional tillage whereas the minimum was under low tillage with one interculture during both the seasons. Application of 100% nitrogen through inorganic source recorded maximum protein production whereas the minimum was under than application of 100% nitrogen through organic source. Conventional tillage had appreciable higher total uptake of nitrogen than low tillage treatments. Application of nitrogen through inorganic source resulted appreciable higher total uptake of nitrogen than application of nitrogen through organic source.
